sonic smash

Idea for new power:
When you hold down in air, you can smash through the floor tiles.
Upgrade: Shock waves.
When you smash down on the ground, you emit shock waves that will break blocks in the vicinity.
Maybe the shock wave goes straight down. Maybe the shock wave is circular around your body.
Shock wave would NOT kill the green and blue angle tiles.
The isBashable rules would still apply to the shock wave.
But, you could pound down on a non-bashable blue floor, and your shockwave could break bricks below that blue floor
if the bricks under the blue floor are bashable.
Add crouching fixes to emulatable sprite to make it easier to fall down holes that are 1 tile big.
Level design to make you learn you can do this?
[START]
[Dooor]
[ ]
[ ]
--------------------------- Platforms only. Must crouch. (You know how to crouch by now )
[ ]-[ ]-[ ]-[ ]-[ ]-[ ]- Alternating platforms and blocks. Making you press crouch instinctively to go through.
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Alternating empty-space and blocks. Maybe you'll try crouching to get through now.
THEN, the level will have some time based thing where if you have not learned to crouch through holes, you will not survive.
